LAS VEGAS— This year’s crop of draftees was, according to executives around the league, relatively weak.

It only figures, then, that the two summer leagues, in Orlando and Las Vegas, that followed the draft were weak, too, especially with the absence of No. 1 pick Anthony Bennett (Cleveland Cavaliers), as well as No. 5 pick Alex Len (Phoenix Suns) and No. 6 pick Nerlens Noel (Philadelphia 76ers), who are all rehabbing injuries.

But there were 11 healthy lottery picks who did play this summer. Here’s how they stacked up:

of 11

Cody Zeller

Grade: A

Team: Charlotte Bobcats

Sure, Zeller didn’t show the 3-point range he suggested he was developing.

However, he does have a solid post game, a good 15-footer and enough strength to hold his own on the block.

He averaged 9.3 rebounds, shot 52.0 percent and his last three games, scoring-wise, went 21 points, 18 points and 18 points.

Kelly Olynyk

Grade: A

Team: Boston Celtics

He’s seven feet tall and can make midrange jumpers with regularity.

We knew that about Olynyk before the draft, and he did not disappoint.

In the Orlando Summer League, Olynyk averaged 18.0 points and shooting 57.8 percent from the field.

Victor Oladipo

Grade: B+

Team: Orlando Magic

Oladipo was one of the most intriguing players to watch this summer, because Orlando pulled a surprise and tried him out at point guard.

The results were erratic, but promising—Oladipo averaged 19.0 points and 5.0 assists, while going to the free-throw line an average of 10.0 times per game.

He also shot 37.5 percent from the field and had 19 turnovers in four games

C.J. McCollum

Grade: B-

Team: Portland Trail Blazers

McCollum is a scorer, and he led the Las Vegas Summer League with 21.0 points per game.

He is a good ballhander who works well in the pick-and-roll and has great body control in the lane.

However, the Blazers want him to play some point guard, too, and that was a struggle for him. He didn’t shoot well, either, making just 36.6 percent from the field.

Steven Adams

Grade: B-

Team: Oklahoma City Thunder

Adams could eventually become the starting center in Oklahoma City.

And when you’re the center playing with Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, all you need to do is be solid and avoid mistakes.

Adams did just that, averaging 9.0 points and 6.5 rebounds.

He held his own against Pistons center Andre Drummond, posting 11 points and six rebounds, while Drummond had 12 points and 11 rebounds.

6

of 11

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope

Grade: C+

Team: Detroit Pistons

Caldwell-Pope had a rough start, shooting 4-for-20 in his first two games, but seemed to get more comfortable as he went on.

He has talent and can score (13.8 points per game), but confidence seemed to be one of his bigger issues.

And he didn’t shoot well, making only 22.6 percent of his 3-point attempts.

of 11

Shabazz Muhammad

Grade: C

Team: Minnesota Timberwolves

Muhammad struggled with his shooting and decision-making in his first three games.

However, he seemed to get it together in his summer finale, scoring 17 points on 6-for-10 shooting.

He averaged 8.5 points and made just 36.5 percent of his shots, but hit 38.9 percent of his 3-point attempts.

8

of 11

Ben McLemore

Grade: C-

Team: Sacramento Kings

If McLemore was criticized for being too passive in college, that would not apply to his summer league play.

In his debut, McLemore took 23 shots and made just four, which included missing all eight of 3-point attempts.

He got some redemption in the Kings’ finale (27 points on 10-for-21 shooting), but overall, he shot 33.3 percent, 19.4 percent from the 3-point line and had zero assists in four games.

9

of 11

Michael Carter-Williams

Grade: D

Team: Philadelphia 76ers

Carter-Williams’ first game was a Summer League classic: He scored 26 points with eight assists and seven rebounds.

Excellent, right?

Well, he also shot 8-for-23 from the field, missed all six of his 3-point attempts and had nine turnovers.

Carter-Williams has promise, but the 13.6 points and 6.8 assists he posted are more than cancelled by his 4.8 turnovers and 27.1 percent shooting.

of 11

Otto Porter

Grade: D-

Team: Washington Wizards

Porter injured his hamstring in the Wizards’ third game, so in fairness to him, he didn’t get a chance to gain confidence and play better.
